    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image sensor and/or a method for manufacturing the same. The image sensor may include a substrate including a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a plurality of unit pixel regions in the substrate; a pixel defining pattern; and a micro lens. Each of the plurality of unit pixel regions may include a photoelectric conversion layer. The pixel defining pattern may extend through the substrate in a first direction so as to define each of the unit pixel regions. The micro lens may be on the second surface of the substrate and corresponding to the unit pixel regions. The pixel defining pattern may include a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer spaced apart from the first conductive layer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image encoder. The image encoder is configured to encode an original image and reduce compression loss. The image encoder comprises an image signal processor and a compressor. The image signal processor is configured to receive a first frame image and a second frame image and generates a compressed image of the second frame image using a boundary pixel image of the first frame image. The image signal processor may include memory configured to store first reference pixel data which is the first frame image. The compressor is configured to receive the first reference pixel data from the memory and generate a bitstream obtained by encoding the second frame image based on a difference value between the first reference pixel data and the second frame image. The image signal processor generates a compressed image of the second frame image using the bitstream generated by the compressor.
